A guy tried to mansplain Handmaid’s Tale to its author and was owned into next week
Winner of mansplainer of the week goes to this chap who obviously thinks he knows a lot about Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale. More than the woman who wrote it, in fact.
It began when Atwood shared a Guardian column about what’s going on in America right now.
